Shapes® Personal Training Program: Guiding Principles

Client safety is the governing principle of the Shapes® Personal Training Program. The Shapes® Personal Training staff follow standards that have been established by following “PT Best Practices”. The following guidelines ensure that our members are reaching their personal goals in a safe personal training environment.

Shapes® Personal Trainers Will Not:

Diagnose disease or provide treatment protocols for injuries

Recommend specific supplements, medicine or curative practices to members for specific illness, injury or health conditions unless the Personal Trainer has additional and necessary credential/certifications

Train members with a serious diagnosed chronic health condition unless they have specifically trained and been certified to provide training to individuals with such conditions or are following the prescribed and supervised by a physician.

Begin training with a member until you have completed a comprehensive health history form.

Offer specific or individualized nutritional advice, unless they have been specifically certified and trained to do so.
